Performance Graph
The following graph compares the five-year cumulative total shareholder return for the Company’s
common stock against the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and the Standard & Poor’s Retail Stores
Composite Index. The annual changes for the five-year period shown on the graph are based on the assumption,
as required by the SEC’s rules, that $100 had been invested in the Company’s stock and in each index on
February 25, 2006, and that all quarterly dividends were reinvested at the average of the closing stock prices at
the beginning and end of the quarter. The total cumulative dollar returns shown on the graph represent the value
that such investments would have had on February 26, 2011. The information used in the graph below was
obtained from Bloomberg.
